Researchers from the Wuhan Botanical Garden and other institutions have recently discovered a new species of Fabaceae in Zhuxi and Shennongjia of Hubei, China. The new species was named Astragalus bashanense.

In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) sought to understand how Quaternary climate change affected the evolutionary process and range shifts of two pine species.

A new study led by Dr. HU Li from the Institute of Psychology has shown that pain-related gamma-band oscillations (GBOs) can objectively reflect an individual's perception of pain, but there are different 'types' of GBOs under different circumstances.

In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden evaluated an inulin-like polysaccharide purified from the aqueous extract of Aspidopterys obcordata for its inhibitory activity against calcium oxalate crystallization in vitro, in cells and in fruit fly models.

Recently, a research team led by Prof. LI Aihua from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences illustrated the effect of vaccination on tilapia symbiotic microbiota, and found that significant alterations of intestinal symbiotic microbiota mediate changes in intestinal metabolism.

A new species of Veronicastrum wulingense G.W. Hu & Q.F. Wang was recently published by a research team from the Wuhan Botanical Garden in Pingbaying National Forest Park, southwest Hubei, China. The new species is the first identified and named by the research team, and the only new species of this genus published in Chinese mainland in the past four decades.

In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden investigated termite-induced changes in soil microbial communities and their nutrient cycling functions within termite mounds (i.e., live mounds and abandoned mounds) in the humid tropical region of southwest China.

In a recent study conducted by Prof. Dr. SHUI Guanghou's group at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Drs. XIA Jinggang and YIN Chunlin from the Xuanwu Hospital reported the discovery of systemic metabolic dysregulation distinct to acute myocardial infarction associated with diabetes.

In a recent study, a research team led by Profs. DAI Jianwu and ZHAO Yannan at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology demonstrated a strategy for covalent conjugation between biomaterials and cells to construct spinal cord-like tissue with drug-guiding function for spinal cord injury repair.

A research group led by Prof. ZHANG Yun from Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a dual-triggered theranostics nanoprobe based on persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) for RA autofluorescence-free imaging-guided precise treatment and therapeutic evaluation.

In a recent study, researchers led by LI Yunhai at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology described a role for the endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation in the regulation of grain size in rice.

A study led by Prof. LI Li from the Institute of Oceanology reveals a novel mechanism of divergent phenotypic plasticity for temperature adaptation in oysters.
